Errored WUs
Hello,
One of my hosts (W2K, boinc 5.10.45) experienced three WUs in error this afternoon:
  • c4cw_target02_015008451
  • c4cw_target02_015000943
  • c4cw_target02_015293239

#1 and #2 experienced an error after over 7 hours, #3 only after few minutes.
The error message there the same:
<core_client_version>5.10.45</core_client_version>
<![CDATA[
<message> Incorrect function. (0x1) - exit code 1 (0x1)
</message>
<stderr_txt> x = -4096, ny = -4096, nz = -4096
Atom # = 30558, nx = -4096, ny = -4096, nz = -4096
Atom # = 30559, nx = -4096, ny = -4096, nz = -4096
...

I do not know if it is a hardware problem or a WU problem ! ...
Cheers,
Yves

I had the bad feeling that this host is coming at the end of its life (after near 8 years and 3y8m of a 24/7/365 service for WCG.

Re: Errored WUs
Hi,
in between, there are 8 WUs in error.
I assume that they are caused by a hardware failure.
I've just downloaded again 4 new WUs just for better checking the situation. Probably I should definitively shutdown this host crying.

Re: Errored WUs
Whenever I see this error message "..Access Violation (0xc0000005) at address 0x0054040E.. " or some other address with the 0xc0000005 access violation code it usually (not always) is a memory module ("RAM") issue with the computer in question.

Re: Errored WUs
Thank you for replying.
I did not perform any software config changes.
Because of host age (around 8 years), I have to decide to stop further investigation and to shutdown this host definitively (even if it was the first host I enrolled at WCG).
Thinking positive, I have to accept that surely a newer host would be better for the environment: more power for less electricity consumption.
Annoying is that it is the second host within 6 weeks which dieds; the other one was an old laptop with screen problem.
It is surely time for more modern hosts. smile
